I am open to suggestions about the angle....one thing tho, the a/c stays.

This car is a primarily a daily driver and I'll be running it up to the limit of the stock injectors. its will run like that for a while as once this turbo goes on, I want to concentrate on the FE3 build for the other car.

Here are some shots of the pipe itself, disregard the welding....I've been experimenting on it, to see if I can fill up the holes....with limited success.




So I am pretty much to going to make another one, but I just cant see how I am going to squeeze a 2.5" pipe in there any other way...its like trying to jam an elephant in a closet.

The stock exit pipe isnt particularly good either, but the pipe diameter is smaller, so it has to be worse in flow.

I though about using a much larger pipe, one wide enough to cover the width of the exhaust flange and then flattening it to give me a/c clearance, hopefull keeping the cross sectional area as large as possible....but I cant see that it'll be any better than what I have done plus it'll be alot harder to make.
one of the problems is that I have only 3.5" to work with on the wide side and 2.5" on the narrow side.
